2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid

The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid — Efficiency Without Compromise

For years, shoppers looking for a three-row family SUV had to choose between efficiency and space. The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid ends that trade-off. A 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid system produces 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque — figures that outperform a lot of naturally aspirated V6 competitors — while returning an EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined in EX FWD trim. Even AWD models deliver 31 MPG combined, making this one of the more efficient options in the full-size three-row SUV segment.

Same Award-Winning Telluride, Now with a Factory Hybrid Powertrain

The Telluride has earned top ratings from major automotive outlets for several consecutive years, consistently praised for its interior quality, passenger room, and value against luxury alternatives. The 2027 Hybrid builds on that reputation without altering the fundamentals. You still get seven-passenger seating with second-row captain chairs that tilt and slide — important for families managing car seats and third-row access. Front shoulder room measures 61.6 inches, second-row legroom is a generous 41.4 inches, and even the third row has a practical 32.1 inches of legroom. Behind the third row, you have 21.3 cubic feet of cargo space — which expands to 88.3 cubic feet with all rows folded.

Hybrid-Specific Features: Stay Mode, e-ASD, and E-VMC

The 2027 Telluride Hybrid adds three powertrain-specific features not found on the standard Telluride. Stay Mode keeps the cabin powered and climate-controlled with the engine off — useful for parking at rest stops without idling. Electric Active Sound Design (e-ASD) produces a subtle pedestrian-alert tone at low speeds without the invasive hum of some EV drivetrains. Electrification Vehicle Motion Control (E-VMC) coordinates the hybrid motor and brakes to improve dynamic stability under varied road conditions.

Technology Across All Three Rows

Every 2027 Telluride Hybrid trim comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen featuring built-in navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, SiriusXM, and Bluetooth. Seven USB-C ports are distributed across all three rows — one data-and-charging port up front and six charge-only ports for the remaining passengers. There's also a dual wireless charging pad, a Wi-Fi hotspot, over-the-air update capability, and a 115V AC inverter in the cargo area. Upgrading to SX adds Meridian's 14-speaker surround sound system with an external amplifier and subwoofer. The SX-Prestige and X-Line SX-Prestige tier up with a 12-inch head-up display, Digital Key 2 with Ultra-Wideband, Remote Smart Parking Assist, and a full-display rear camera mirror.

Driver Assistance That Starts at the Base Trim

Kia's Drive Wise safety suite on the Telluride Hybrid is among the most comprehensive available at the EX price point. Standard across all trims: Forward Collision Avoidance with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Following Assist 2, Smart Cruise Control 2 with curve-handling navigation integration, Blind Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Highway Driving Assist, Safe Exit Assist, and Driver Attention Warning. SX and above add Highway Driving Assist 2, Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist, Blind Spot View Monitor, Surround View Monitor, and several additional Forward Collision Avoidance scenarios covering direct oncoming vehicles, junction crossing, and lane-change detection.

X-Line: The Rugged-Look Option with Full Tech Content

The X-Line SX and X-Line SX-Prestige trims offer a visually distinctive alternative with a Matte Black grille, 21-inch alloy wheels, raised bridge-type roof rails in gloss black, and aggressive gloss-black wheel arch treatment. Both X-Line trims include AWD as standard and add Snow, Mud, and Sand terrain modes to the base Eco / Sport / My Drive drive modes. Tech content mirrors their non-X-Line counterparts — X-Line SX matches the SX; X-Line SX-Prestige matches the SX-Prestige — so you're choosing appearance and standard AWD, not giving up any features.
